Have they done a gastric emptying test, esophageal monometry, or pH impedance probe? Sounds like gastroparesis to me. Have they tried low dose erythromycin to see if it helps with motility issues? But off the top of my head, it could also be neurocardiogenic dysautonomia or Chiari I Malformation...The cause may not be in the GI tract to begin with.
